With Tech, a Nigerian Artist Brings ‘Spark’ to Care Homes

description

From the Article:

After Kunle Adewale’s stepmother had a stroke, she was unable to recognize her family members. But she remembered music, particularly songs from their morning devotional. When Adewale sang Amazing Grace, he recalled, she sang along.

Now, Adewale is helping other people living with cognitive impairment find similar connections to art. The  internationally renowned artist and World Bank Social Inclusion Hero is working with older Nigerians through visual arts, music and technology.
